Turkey hopes Obama’s visit to weaken Armenian Genocide recognition by
Washington
09.03.2009 12:29 GMT+04:00

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ U.S. President Barack Obama’s impending visit to
Turkey weakens the possibility of Washington’s recognition of the
Armenian Genocide, Hurriyet Daily News quoted diplomatic sources and
analysts as saying.

The unexpected visit underscores Turkey’s growing importance in
Obama’s new Middle East strategies, analysts suggest.

Turkey, in return, should move soon to boost relations with Armenia,
including taking steps to set up diplomatic relations and open the
land border, they say.

`In this case, Obama will say it’s not right time to get involved in
the genocide issue because Turkey and Armenia are close to
reconciliation,’ a Turkish expert supposes.

During his election campaign last year, Obama said that, as President,
he will recognize the Armenian Genocide.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
